  • The Music of Larisa Vrhunc

    Open AccessNiall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2021

    The Slovene composer Larisa Vrhunc has pursued an adventurous and impressive range of music, unashamedly modernist in its techniques and constantly innovative, with new techniques deriving from varied sources of inspiration

  • Slovenian Music in its Central European Context

    Open AccessNiall O'Loughlin, Niall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2021

    Slovenia has had a rich and varied musical histoiy, despite the fact that it was part of the Habsburg Empire and then a constituent part of Yugoslavia. Its recent smooth transition to independence and its realignment with Central Europe have been noteworthy. In the past, Slovene or part-Slovene composers such as Gallus, Tartini and Wolf worked abroad, while in the 20th century composers normally returned to Slovenia after studying abroad. For exa…

  • Ivo Petrić’s Orchestral Indian Summer

    Open AccessNiall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2019

    Many of Ivo Petrić’s last works are orchestral. Some are related to his native Slovenia, while others are concertos for various solo instruments. They are normally in one movement, either showing some connection with traditional separate movements or multi-tempo works with numerous motivic interconnections

  • Characterization in the Operas of Penderecki

    Open AccessNiall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2015

    Characterization in the four operas of Krzystof Penderecki is well developed. It includes specified melodic intervals for characters, distorted vocal lines, the use of coloratura singing and various forms of chanting and speaking

  • Expressive Sonority and Formal Control

    Open AccessNiall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2014

    An investigation of recent works by the Slovene composer Lojze Lebič shows continuing attention to drawing memorable sounds from instruments and voices in a very expressive way. This is always allied to a careful formal planning

  • Vinko Globokar’s Balkan Requiem

    Open AccessNiall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2014

    Globokar’s rare excursions into folklore include the two Études pour folklora of 1968 which imitate the techniques of folk musicians in Bosnia and Macedonia and Élegie balkanique of 1992 which laments the Balkan tragedy in musical and verbal terms, in effect a secular requiem

  • Risto Savin in slovenska identiteta

    Open AccessNiall O'Loughlin, Niall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2012

    Po poklicu profesionalni avstro-ogrski vojak Risto Savin je v svojem skadateljskem delu postopno razvil slovensko glasbeno identiteto. Sprva je pisal za glas, klavir in komorne zasedbe v nemškem slogu, potem je pa začel skladati na slovensko poezijo Antona Aškerca (1895) in napisal svojo prvo kratko opero, Poslednja straža (1904). Slog, ki ga je razvil pri tem, je predstavljal osnovo za njegovo prvo veliko opero Lepa Vida (1907)

  • Vrnitev k starim tehnikam v nedavnih koncertih Iva Petrića

    Open AccessNiall O'Loughlin, Niall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2011

    Potem ko se je v osemdesetih letih vrnil k običajni menzuralni notaciji, je Ivo Petrić napisal številne nove koncerte. V štirih takih delih za solo instrument in orkester so navkljub spremembi stila tako instrumentalne tehnike kot oblikovne zasnove ostale podobne

  • Slovenska glasba v poznem 20. in zgodnjem 21. stoletju

    Open AccessNiall O'Loughlin, Niall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2009

    V poznem 20. in zgodnjem 21. stoletju glasba na Slovenskem teži k modernizmu ali postmodernizmu. Glede na nenehno medsebojno izmenjevanje kompozicijskih tehnik postaja razločevanje med skladatelji vse manj pomembno

  • The Music of Uroš Krek

    Open AccessNiall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2008

    The author defines the style of the composer Uroš Krek whose music has a reputation for high quality and emotional content. He uses the basic stylistic periods, neo-classicism, folk music influence, melodic cells, and a combination of these three, but argues that there is no clear-cut division between them

  • The Movement Order of Mahler’s Sixth Symphony

    Open AccessNiall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2008

    Mahler composed his Sixth Symphony with the Scherzo preceding the Andante, but reversed them before the first performance for all performances and published editions. However, some prominent musicians still insist on this order. With numerous thematic and harmonic connections between Alle- gro and Andante, and Scherzo and Finale, Mahler’s revised order is completely convincing

  • Intellectual Magic

    Open AccessNiall O'Loughlin, Niall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2007

    Throughout the history of music there has often been a conflict between the old and the new. This applies very much to the music of the English composer, Hugh Wood (b.1932). Studying history, and later composition with Anthony Milner, Iain Hamilton and Mátyás Seiber, he respectively gained from them beauty of music, especially melody, and a mastery of counterpoint; the technique of twelve-note serialism; and a varied and undogmatic approach to co…

  • What is English music? The Twentieth Century Experience

    Open AccessNiall O'Loughlin, Niall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2007

    Many countries in the 19th century wanted to assert their national character, with music being one way of doing so. We can distinguish four ways in which in music national identity can be established: composers may use the folk music, they can base their music on folk music, they can set the words of a nation to music and the last possibility can be found in the idea of an association of certain music with specific events and festivities in a tra…

  • Interconnecting Musicologies

    Open AccessNiall O'Loughlin, Niall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2003

    This paper aims to establish a possible model for a multi-dimensional approach to understanding a complex musical work, using a number of interconnecting musicologies. In the 19th century the symphony was often considered an abstract musical creation, but in other cases a programmatic work. The first four symphonies of Gustav Mahler are programmatic in that three set words to music, while extra-musical interpretations can easily be inferred for a…

  • Expressive Emotion and Symphonic Economy

    Open AccessNiall O'Loughlin, Niall O’LoughlinARTICLEMusicological Annual2002

    The music of Uroš Krek combines symphonic economy with expressive emotion. Even in the earlier neo-classical and folk music influenced works, this character was evident. Many of these works are written for string instruments for which Krek has a particular interest and affinity. The music of the 1970s contains an extensive use of a highly developed motivic activity which shows his flexible approach. His motives change by rhythm, inversion, reorde…
